What I Learned About Non-Toxic Feminine Care (And Why I Switched)?

What I Learned About Non-Toxic Feminine Care (And Why I Switched)?

For years, I never questioned what was in my pads. I thought if it was on the shelf, it was safe. But the more I learned, the more I realized that many mainstream period products contain ingredients I wouldn’t want anywhere near my skin, especially in one of the most sensitive areas of my body.

Now I only use non-toxic, organic pads. I want to help more women make that shift, because choosing period care that supports your body is an act of self-respect.

Here’s what I’ve learned about non-toxic feminine care and how Fizabelle makes it easy to choose better.

Why Go Non-Toxic?

Your intimate area is one of the most absorbent and sensitive parts of your body. That means what touches your skin really matters.

Many conventional pads contain:

  • Synthetic fabrics

  • Artificial fragrance

  • Bleach or chlorine

  • Plastic layers that trap heat and moisture

These materials can cause irritation, disrupt your pH balance, and increase long-term health risks. Choosing non-toxic care helps protect your body and reduce unnecessary chemical exposure.

Ingredients to Avoid

When I started reading the labels, I was shocked. These are the common ingredients I now stay away from:

  • Fragrance or parfum
    This often includes allergens or hormone-disrupting chemicals, even if they’re not listed.
  • Chlorine and bleach
    Used for whitening, but may leave behind toxic residues like dioxins.
  • Plastics and polymers
    Trap heat and moisture, which can lead to rashes, discomfort, or infections.
  • Colorants and dyes
    Unnecessary for hygiene and may cause irritation or allergic reactions.

What to Look For Instead?

Choosing cleaner period care is simpler than it sounds. Here are the key features I look for:

  • Organic cotton
    Soft, breathable, and free from pesticides or harsh processing.
  • Fragrance-free
    Your body doesn’t need perfume to feel clean and fresh.
  • Biodegradable or recyclable packaging
    Better for your body and better for the planet.
  • Safety certifications
    Look for labels like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), OEKO-TEX®, or Made Safe.
